How To Cure Redness & Irritation Of The Right Eye?

I am having redness and irritation in my right eye since 7-8 days. past few days there is a feeling as if foreign body is stuck in my eye, something like sand. There are small spottings have occurred near the retina. I have seen a specialist and as per him it is because of dust that penetrated and caused this infection. I am on DOXY-1 LDR Forte tablets and some drops, but havent got any relief. He mentioned something like flacon (phonetically). I am very much worried now.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having corneal foreign body and infiltration caused by the foreign body in the form of dust. It is on cornea and not on retina as mentioned by you in the history.
The treatment of the condition is by removal of the dust material and use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Since corneal infiltration can progress to corneal ulcer if not treated properly I advice you to consult your doctor and follow the treatment as advised by him.

Thank you
